Google-AFP Deal Unclear
Analysis: The resolution of Agence France-Presse’s lawsuit against Google closes a two-year litigation process but opens many questions, primarily because the companies provided few details about their settlement and licensing agreement.

Consequently, all outsiders can do is speculate about which company gave more in settlement negotiations that put an end to the copyright-infringement lawsuit AFP filed in March 2005.
